TEL AVIV, (JTA)-In early
spring, Israel's weather alternates
capriciously between hot and dry
and the torrential downpours of
lingering winter rains. Last
Saturday, March 11, it was fair and
warm. Had the weather been less
salubrious, the carnage that marked
the day as one of the bloodiest and
most tragic in Israel's history might
have been less extensive, or might
not have occurred. The following
events were pieced together from
eye-witness accounts and police
reports.
By mid-afternoon, thousands of
Israelis were at the Mediterranean
beaches, on the tennis courts and in
swimming pools. Some 60-odd men,
women and children, mostly
families of Egged bus cooperative
employees,were returning from a
pleasant nature tour of the northern
countryside. Some of the
youngsters, tired from their outing,
slept in the back of their bus. A
young Israeli woman photographer,
employed by Time-Life, was in a
rented car near the beach at
Maagan Michael, south of Haifa.

WASHINGTON, (JTA)-The
Carter Administration made it clear
that last Saturday's terrorist raid on
Israel which it has strongly con-
demned, has not changed its position
on the Palestinian question, Israeli
settlements or the need for Israeli
withdrawal from occupied Arab
territories, issues that have strained
relations between Washington and
Jerusalem in recent weeks.
The Administration affirmed that
it is still committed to a com-
prehensive peace settlement in the
Middle East and will not allow the
latest terrorist outrage to disrupt the
efforts to reach a negotiated set-
tlement. At the White House, Press
Secretary Jody Powell replied "no"
when asked if the tragic events of
the weekend had altered Ad-
ministration policy.
At the State Department, chief
spokesman Hodding Carter said
"We do not intend to allow this
(terrorist) act to achieve its aim of
undermining the peace process. Our
efforts will continue. We hope that
all those committed to a com-
prehensive and just peace set-
tlement will also keep their eyes on
this goal. He also said that "the
violence which we deplore does not
change the positions we have stated
a number of times."
Prime Minister Menachem Begin
affirmed that the outrage need not
affect the current Mideast peace

everyone else my reaction was one
of revulsion and anger. I was
frustrated. But then I spent the day
making phone calls to people who
had not yet made their commitment
to the 1978 campaign. The response
was positive and immediate. People
wanted to do something, and the best
thing they could do was to indicate
their support of Israel."
The CJP Campaign chairman
noted that "During the Holocaust we
were a frustrated people, unable to
do much about what was happening
in Europe. Today, however, we can
all do something. We can volunteer
our time to CJP to telephone those
